This "sixth" Golf Variant, of course, independently is not able to go. The equipment on a roof is necessary for collection of topographical data which these UAVs already use.
The HERE service creating 3D maps and navigation applications last year has been redeemed from Nokia corporation by consortium of the German companies into which VW Group, BMW and Daimler have entered. At the same time the firm has not lost independence and continues to deliver the decisions to a great number of clients in the autoindustry and not only. Bing, Alpine, Garmin, Oracle and Amazon.com use its products, for example, Facebook. Now HERE together with consulting office SBD has appealed to all producers of UAVs to combine efforts for creation of intelligent transportation system. Otherwise, partners warn, we are waited not by(with) the problem resolution of traffic jams, and big jams, but already from robotic cars!
According to authors of the report, there are two major factors which will determine impact of UAVs on traffic jams. The first — the level of automation of machines. The second — an appropriate level of acceptance of technologies by its users. Researchers from HERE consider that in case of an imbalance one strongly disturbs another. They offer "collaborative approach". Players of automotive industry shall refuse a formula "everyone pro se" and as much as possible expand cooperation, interacting with road builders, various regulators to create necessary infrastructure, to develop single rules and regulations, to teach cars of the different communicate brands among themselves. It seems that HERE, with its level of competence, communications and a scope, god ordered to be engaged in cooperation on the Niva of an autonomy. It will be interesting if Volvo responds to an appeal, say.
